The Governors Guard. with the gallant
Captain Call at it's head, returned from the
Huron encampment yesterday and with
them came Colonel Bentley, who has the
satisfaction of knowing that his regiment
the First-carried away every prize with
the exception of the one for the Individual
drill. The Governors Guard did not create
as much jealousy among rival companies
as it did two years ago at Fargo, when it
was the best drilled company in the terri
tory, but the young recruits who were
mustered in few weeks before the en-
campment and whose experience in the
science of war was not extensive. acquitted
themselves most creditably. In marching
they were excellent, the time kept by them
during the grand parade being the subject
of many complimentary remarks.
In the individual drill for the prize
offered to the best drilled man in the mil
itia two Of the company entered-Thomas
out quite early in the contest, but his mis-
take was discovered by himself and he
walked out before being ordered by the
officer. Flavin remained until the line had
been shortened very materially and for a
time his friends were willing to wager that
ne would win the prize, but occupying a
very undesirable position at the right Of
the line he made slight technical mistak e
which threw him out and the much
coveted prize was won by Redfield war
riOr.
The Bismarck company speaks in the
most complimentary terms of the encamp-
ment and its management, and pays a
high compliment to Huron's hospitable
citizens. The members are well satisfied
with the result and are determined that
ter prepared to compete for the h0nOrs. A
visit to the encampment was sufficient to
convince the observer Of the Importance of
keeping up an interest in the militia and
every citizen of Bismarck should take
pride in encouraging the guard. By prae-
tice and ambition the Governors Guard as
the old company. Drilling is necessary.

POINTERS FOR PARTIsANS.
Acting President Oberly's Interpretation
of Civil Service Law.

Acting President Oberly's Interpretation
of Civil Service Law.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Acting Presi-
dent Oberly for the United States civil SER
vice commission has written letter to
Charles w. Rowland, chairman of the civil
board of examiners for the Cincinnati
postofice, constituting certain sections Of
the civil service law and rules relating to
the power of appointing officers to make
removals. He says: "That every carrier
and clerk in the Cincinnati postoffice
might legally be removed for cause is
proposition on which you need no informa-
ton. it is therefore conluded that you
wish to know whether in the opinion of
the commission efficient carriers and clerks
of good character may be removed for par
tisan reasons, because they do not agree in
politics with the postmaster. The COM
mission has heretofore stated and now re
peats that the power of removal is unre-
stricted except that removals may not be
legally made for any one of the following
causes: ..a.-. ,.
1. Because the person in service has re-
fnsed to contribute to a political fund for
a political purpose. .,-s
2. Because he has refused to be coerced
in his political action.
The punishment for violation OF the
first rule consists of imprisonment, but no
penalty is prescribed by the act for vio-
lation Of the second. The law fairly con-
strued is that classified civil service
shall be upon the merit Of the applicant,
without regard to his political opinions or
affiliations; that continuation in the SER
vice shall be upon the employees merit,
without regard to his political opinions or
affiliations. Therefore the appointing
officer who appoints or refuses to appoint
an applicant because the applicant does or
does not entertain certain political opin-
officer who removes an employe because
the employe refuses to render political SER
vice in accordance with the wishes of the
appointing officer, because he is not a po-
litical partisan Of the appointing officer,
also violates the law"

His Views.

Letter to Consul John Devlin Outlining
His Views.
DETROIT, MICH, Sept. 7.-John Devlin,
United States consul at Windsor, promi-
nent Knight of Labor, recently wrote Gen
eral Master Workman Powderly calling
attention to criticisms which have been SO
freely made upon his policy as the official
head of the order and asking certain ques-
tions concerning the same. In reply Mr.
POwderly declares that he is not a socialist.
He says he owes allegiance to the Knights
of Labor only; that he has done mans
part in promoting the orders interests, and
that he has battled against allowing it to
become the tail to any kite. He believed
in excluding all foreigners brought to this
country under contract to take the places
OF American wOrkmen. The country
could support a billion of human beings,
but they must not all come at once; they
must come by natural and not by forced
means.

Sharp Playing Generally.

CHICAGO, Sept. 8. - The ''tail-enders"
came here to-day and beat the club which
hoped to again win the championship, in
the most shameful manner. There was an
attendance of 1000, but every one pres
ent sat like mutes at a funeral until
Pfeffer appeared, when there was some
applause. Anson's appearance was hooted
and his errors, Of which he made three,
were applauded and the crowd seemed to
be GLAD when Indianapolis won the game.
The visitors played an excellent fielding
and good batting game, but the White
Stockings were listless in their work and
their errors were frightful. Score: Chi

Boston, Sept. S-Madden's pitching was
the feature Of to-day's Boston-New York

til the eighth. when hit by Brown availed
nothing. The only other hit made by
Ward in the ninth, was likewise fruitless.
All but one OF BOston's five runs were
earned by long hits by Morrill,, johnson,
Burdock and Kelly. Score: Boston 5, New
York 0.

great interest here to-day in the race be-
tween the PAGER Johnston to wagon and
Harry Wilkes to harness for purse of
$2,000 In first heat the horses got the
word on the second attempt, Johnston hav-
ing a slight advantage. At the turn John

stride. At the half Wilkes was barely
holding his own two lengths in the rear.
Coming into the home stretch Wilkes
closed up On Johnston's wheel, but could
not overhaul him, Johnston finishing a
length and half in the lead. The second
and third heats were repetitions of the first,
Harry Wilkes getting at the distance stand

but Elkwood at once drew two lengths
away and set a pace, but not very fast

him and was only half length behind at
the head of the stretch and 1t was seen
that Elkwood was as good as beaten, when
Mclaughlin began to whip gradually.
With apparently no effort Banburg drew
up and passed his competitor at the six
teenth pole and won without a touch of
the whip by about a length. Time 2O7115.
